Or find new books in Hay-on-Wye - in Welsh 'Y Gelli Gandryll' or just 'Y Gelli' is well known as 'the town of books'.

Or find a quirky event in Llanwrtyd Wells. The World Alternate Games, Bog Snorkelling or Man v Horse Marathon, perhaps?
With so much to do and stars to see, you’ll want to stay overnight.
